Semabin continues to whack the archer (I don't want to type U here) with the flat of his blade.

 

[D20Dazza]

Seeing Semabin lay into the archer Kyle stops advancing and spins back towards the camp site, ready to raise the alarm if any of the prisoners should try to escape.

Sorry about the tardy response, I was at a local gaming con all weekend.

Lupic will attempt to charge in a grapple the archer.

Round 3 continued:
Initiative:
Semabin: 11
Lupic: 9
Deos: 1

Semabin swings again with the flat of his blade, but the archer evades his attacks. scimitar (1d20-1=8, 1d6=6)
Lupic charges in tackling the archer and driving an armor spike into his body. [http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=469494]grapple check[/url] He is still hasn't passed out, but definitely is looking worse for wear.
Twisting for a moment in Lupic's grasp only causes him more pain. "I give up," he gasps though clenched teeth.

Now that his companions have heavily engaged the archer in hand to hand combat, Deos reloads his crossbow and keeps it trained on the fight, waiting to loose his bolt should the archer escape the melee.

 

[Knight Otu]

"Very good. Lupic, let him off, please, but see that he doesn't run away." Semabin says as the archer capitulates. He keeps his scimitar ready, in case the archer tries anything.

 

[SlagMortar]

He drops his bow and says, "Ok. You caught me. Just don't kill me. We didn't hurt anyone."

 

[buzzard]

Not that it particularly matters at this point, but Lupic isn't in his armor, so can't use armor spikes.
